   Hallo Nancy!   
      
    NB> but in her case she's just paranoid about getting the virus   
      
   I think that is a very common 'problem' even in this neck of the woods.  Also   
   I believe the mask situation is way out of hand except I don't see it doing   
   any harm, other than it being symptomatic of paranoia or at least false   
   precaution as it pertains to this particular virus.  Wash your hands is still   
   the best preventive messure.   
      
    NB> But grocery stores and pharmacies are deemed essential still, so   
    NB> we've been able to get food and meds... :)   
      
   Same situation here although there is a shortage of supplies.  I heard one   
   woman in Nanaimo complain that she had to make five different stops to get   
   everything she needed.  Myself I found the limited quantities one can purchase   
   at one time to be a hinderance to the 'just stay home' message.   
      
    NB> Just as well our next cybertoast isn't for quite a while...   
    NB> you'd not be able to get out to get yours...   
      
   You would think so but apparently liquor stores are an essential service ...   
   not that it really matters to me personally ... or at least for another 211   
   dagen.  ;-)   
      
    NB> I just think that they should be able to get back to that level   
    NB> of preparedness   
      
   For sure.  It should have been taken care of over a century ago.  It isn't   
   like this wasn't a real possiblity of happening.   
      
    NB> much is in short supply   
      
   Yes, especially common sense.  Mind you that always is in short supply   
   methinks.   
      
   Stay well and we'll talk soon.   
      
   Het leven is goed,   
   Maurice
